Is Lagos airport only use by Yorubas I'm praying serious to everyone to go there different ways for us to see how far you guys will go with the massive debt hanging in all the states in West, ignorant mind Oil and gas money fund more 85% of Nigeria economy

07kjb:
Apart from Lagos State which other state in the south west is more developed than Abia state
Federal GOVERNMENT build LAGOS

flokii:
The lazy ones are using seaports in Lagos as excuse for the under-development in their region... there is Onne port, ports dey Calabar. why not use those ports to their advantage?

See what Tinapa has turned to in Cross River.. such can never happen to a multi-billion naira investment in SW.. had it been Tinapa was a project in Lagos for example, same people would have blamed their backwardness on the monument as reason tourists are not visiting other parts of Nigeria.

The problem with South South and South East I have observed over the years is insincerity and self-deceit. They prefer to blame Yorubas than look inward and ask themselves pertinent questions on the way ahead for their states and regions.

That is a lie, you illiterate.

I can create a deepfake audio of Donald trump saying " I love tinubu" if that is what you want.

Illiteracy and bigotry.

AD termed PDP gubernatorial candidate in 1999 and 2003 as Igbo agenda in order to win.

AC tagged PDP gubernatorial candidate as Igbo agenda in 2007 in order to win.

ACN tagged PDP gubernatorial candidate as Igbo agenda in 2011 in order to win.

APC tagged PDP gubernatorial candidate as Igbo agenda in 2015 in order to win.

APC tagged PDP gubernatorial candidate as Igbo agenda in 2019 in order to win.

APC tagged LP gubernatorial candidate as Igbo agenda in 2023 in order to win.

Come 2027, APC will still tag the candidate of the leading opposition party as Igbo agenda in order to win.

See how Seyi Mskinde won flawlessly. Everyone voted for him - Yorubas, Foundational Yorubas, Original Oyo people, Igbos, Hausas, Tiv, Efik and whatever tribe is resident in the state.
If you govern well, you won't need violence and tribal bigotry to win election.

IyaTola:

God bless Obi for giving you much challenges to fulfill.

Some people will say that ;


Yorubas should go and claim Kwara First before claiming Lagos

Tinubu won Kwara by wide Margin against a Fulani (Atiku) in Kwara.

The current governor is mobbing the floor with the Nupe governorship candidate from PDP.

while using Saraki to mob the floor on several occasions all this while..


Congratulations to little Alhaja.

Bro, you have to do a little more research sir. The first king of Lagos is called Ado. He was the son of Ashipa, who was a king of the Bini. He was invited to Lagos on the request of Aina Elewure and he stayed there to maintain peace and order because the youth has sought occasion against Aina Elewure. In oral history of the Yoruba at Isale Eko, that's the history.

There was no written record of this elsewhere than the memories of the founding ancestors of the Eko, as narrated by John Losi. And, is the memory of the Yoruba founding fathers any way reliable? You can bet. But their information is not accessible without you having deep knowledge of the language and network of facts. Bini has been existing as long as the Yoruba has been existing.

There was no invasion of the Awori by the Bini, there was nothing these people were competing for to warrant them going to war, its just the mood of the 19th century profiling of cultures from Afro-European perspectives with happening when the written record came to fore, just the kind of mood you are presently trying to relay the past the way it suits you most.

There's no Ile Ibinu, the Nupe, the Yoruba, the Bini, and the Hausa and Igbo in extension might have come from common origin in a thousands of years and some of the foggy traditions is echoed to our time. but we are Nigerians now, tribalism and hatred come first before scientific fact. I mean it would not have been an accident that we are neighbors who look alike even to strangers.

Instead, there was an earlier, and much ancient empire that has decayed and its records completely lost to us buried in Nigeria, unfortunately, the descendants of that empire came to be fused by providence again in a country called Nigeria and the hatred borne by their differences blindfold them to their foggy history. thats why the black man is doomed.

The Awori

The Awori were not living in ilu Egba. You can't constrain people to a land to give them a name that comes much later. can I say the Ota were living in Ilu Egba? Meaning they do not have a name until Egba emerged and came up with a name and then we could have idea where and who the awori's were because the Egba appeared.

And the Egba came to their present location sometimes after the fall of Oyo empire in 1839 or so. These were the people that actually fought wars in record time, namely the Awori and the Egba. So, the Egba is not the overlord of the Awori, rather they were the last comers in the fringes of an expanding Yoruba from the hinterland towards the southwest.

The Bini in Yoruba history does not necessarily have to come from Edo state in Nigeria, Bini is like say, a father house, a tribe or clans spread in and around Yorubaland that you have in majority at Bini, just like you have Bariba in Yoruba who have their majority in Borgu. Yoruba is made of tradesmen, bloodlines, emigrants and heroes whose descendants became tribes.

The Yoruba is as ancient as the Berbars and we may not see the link until we start to dust the word "Ibariba", "beriberi" etc. meaning, our history is hidden from us in plain sight because the historical words are not the same as what we read in history and so we miss the connection. Then we kept inventing different traditions as placeholders.

Let me say the word Maroko is a transformation of Morocco, somebody must have been in the two places to call the same place the same name. But can the descendant of that person tell you how that come to be? the answer is no. but what if the word were from the same source? This explains the reason the Yoruba did not have a word for the meaning of the name Yoruba.

It is one of the enigma that the Yoruba has failed to solve, just like the Yoruba history itself.

I pray we get there,

Kukutenla:
How is Ijebu, Egbaland. Is that not land-grabbing?
How old are you

Kukutenla:
That's a blatant lie. Ijebus are totally different from Egba. Stop land-grabbing for Egba people
Meanwhile Onanuga is Ijebu. Yet he's speaking for Lagos
